Villa Matilde Fiano di Avellino 2021

The wine appears a pale straw, then releases long-lasting, emphatic notes of fruit and flowers, including summer flowers, pear, and hazelnut, that evolve into hints of tropical fruit and honey.

The palate, decidedly classic to the variety, is well balanced and lengthy, completing a wine that is elegant, refined, and cellar-worthy.

“Severus, fortis, ardens”: such was the description of ancient Farlernum, ancient literature’s most famous wine, lost to views in the early 1990s and re-introduced in the 1970s in Ville Matilde’s hillside vineyards of on the slopes of the extinct Roccamonfina volcano. The bond with the local culture and its winemaking traditions thus constitutes the beginning of the history and the foundation of the production philosophy of this winery.
